Francesca was up early and since everyone was still asleep, she decided to head to the cow shed and clean it. It must have been quite dirty from the way Francesca looks.

Francesca goes in the house and changes, and was just about to head to the bathroom to take a bath, when she feels that sudden churning in her stomach. And she knows...she is preggers again.

She immediately tells William the news. And, as expected, he is quite happy about having more children and kisses Francesca tenderly. And is William suddenly sprouting a mustache? I wonder if it tickles Francesca when he kisses her.

While Francesca takes a bath, William heads out to his garden and plants the new mushrooms he found.

And, of course the bills came, and William paid them right away.

After tending to the chores, a messenger comes by with a note from his father, asking if they would like to go over to the De Baskerville Cottage. What a wonderful idea! William sends a messenger over to the Watson Farm and asks Rahmi if she can look after the children for a few hours. (Note: For some reason, when I clicked on accept and invite a few friends, the only household member who showed up was Francesca, so just went with it. Yes, Rahmi Watson, the official neighborhood babysitter extraordinaire!)

When they arrived at the de Baskerville cottage, Reginald was outside tending to the cow. (Note: Reginald named his cow Brown Cow. I can only imagine what Francesca thought of that name! lol Well, at least he named it.

When Reginald saw William and Francesca, he was happy to see them both.

Reginald: "William, now you can meet my son, John, and meet our sister, Constance."
William heard a voice behind him and turned. It was his father.

Ian: "William, so glad that you and Francesca are here. Your mother has been pestering me about inviting you and Thaddeus to meet your sister."
William: "Well, father, we've been a bit busy ourselves with the new twins..."
Ian: "Of course, as is Thaddeus. And I was glad to see you yesterday with my eldest grandchild. Amelia is growing up so fast. But come inside and we can talk some more..."
They headed into the house together. And they have dust cloud babies...as some of the infants seem to be playing in the cupboards...

William's mother was cooking at the stove and came over to greet him. William hugged her lovingly.
William: "Mother, I am so happy to see you. Are you doing well after the birth? Do you need to sit down?"
Gwendolyn: "Oh heavens, no! You're just like your father always fussing. I am fine, William."

They chatted some more and then Reginald brought his son over to introduce to Francesca.

Francesca: "Reginald, congratulations. You must be so proud, and I see that he has blonde hair just like you and my sister, Colette."
Reginald sat down holding his son close to him, and Gwendolyn went over to a nearby crib and lifted out an infant.
Gwendolyn: "William, meet your sister, Constance. She is a bundle of energy and just wants to explore. She would crawl all the way down the hill if we let her..."
https://i.postimg.cc/gcKXRWLW/she-is-such-a-sweet-sister.png
William looked at her, "A sister. Sul Sul Constance, I am your brother, William. And with three older brothers, you will be very protected..."
https://i.postimg.cc/Z5WC1v7b/your-sister-william.png
Francesca came over to look at her, too, "Oh my! She is a wiggly one, isn't she? And another redhead...just like her brothers..."
https://i.postimg.cc/bNs6Jst5/ian-and-william-chatted-with-colette.png
William and Ian chatted with Colette a bit.

And Gwendolyn came over and introduced John to William.

William could not forget his niece, Joan, who was rather excited to see him again. So, William sat down with her and read her a story.
Francesca felt it was the right time to tell everyone the news, and spoke to her sister first.
Francesca: "Colette, I'm expecting again..."
Colette looked surprised.
https://i.postimg.cc/VvHzRDcj/telling-her-sister-she-is-preggers.png
Francesca turned to smile at her sister, and wasn't sure, but she thought she saw a hint of sadness in her sister's face over the news. But in an instant, Colette's face changed and she was smiling again.
https://i.postimg.cc/44PLXnJD/sad-face-colette.png
Colette whispered to her: "Francesca, you should tell Ian and Gwendolyn the news while you are here..."
And that is exactly what Francesca did. And when Ian heard the news, he was so thrilled that he clapped his hands together. You would think it was news of his first grandchild the way he reacted. But I guess Ian just wants more grandchildren.

Ian: "Francesca...William...this is wonderful news. Our family is truly blessed..."
William went over to Francesca and held her hands in his, "Yes, we are father, and both of us want nothing more than to have a big, happy family..."
